THE COVE, Taiji-Japan

help save 23,000 dolphins a year from inhumane and useless slaughter in Taiji Japan by signing a petition and getting the word out and make people aware:

In the Cove they trap the dolphins and select a few to be sold off to aquariums and swim with the dolphin places then they take the rest of the dolphins that weren’t selected to the other side of the cove (where people can't see) and brutally kill them by stabbing them to death over and over till they die- all the blood turns the cove bright red. This happens every day from September to March.

The thing is dolphin meat cannot be eaten because it contains high levels of mercury which is poisonous to people. They are killing the dolphins and passing the meat off as whale meat.

In The Cove, a team of activists and filmmakers infiltrate a heavily-guarded cove in Taiji, Japan. In this remote village they witness and document activities deliberately being hidden from the public: More than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises are being slaughtered each year and their meat, containing toxic levels of mercury, is being sold as food in Japan, often times labeled as whale meat.

The majority of the world is not aware this is happening. The Taiji cove is blocked off from the public. Cameras are not allowed inside and the media does not cover the story. It's critical that we get the word out in Japan. Once the Japanese people know we believe they will demand change.
